Nationalize google and incarcerate their board.
Eh, you sure we want to give control of that shit to Trump and his people?
I'm not sure whether it could be worse.
It would be worse. They would use that access to target people.
Do you think anything is stopping them now? Why do you think these systems were built?
I mean they were built to make money, the fact that you can send them a national security letter is just a happy accident that keeps the NSA from having to run more datacenters.
I respectfully disagree. They were built for power and control. Monestisation just paid for it and helped adoption.
I think you've got it backwards. Like the other person said, this shit was built to make money, the power and control came later. Said power and control also came partially from the money, since money is just power coupons, and they used that to buy up competitors and regulators alike to get to the state their in now.
Not everything is built with evil intentions. Quite frequently, evil corrupts otherwise benign institutions as they gain power to serve the ends of those already in power.
Profits. Dead people don't pay.
Dead people also have no claim on the present or future. You can own more, even when the pie is shrinking if you negate others claims.
they already are.
its been a while since snowden leaked that to us.
My dear child... They are already doing this. Us and Israeli spooks already infiltrated all mega corps. Mega corps know and collaborate.
All of them are balls deep helping waffen IDF do a genocide...
They help ice gestapo to target people within the US...
These examples are merely what has been publicly documented.
